Still No Apple TV Audio or Video Streaming Options?
Last I checked there weren't any options to let an Apple TV play content from a ReadyNAS (any variation). Last thread I found on this was last year. Is this condition still the case? Thanks!

No, that needs home sharing. The Apple TV doesn't even "see" the iTunes server.

If you have a standard iTunes server with home sharing enabled on your network, then things get a bit better (but hard to explain). It's been a while since I tried this, so I won't go into details (I don't want to get them wrong). But some things will start working, because the standard iTunes can act as a proxy for the sever on the NAS.
